Let the children come, mother's come on I step foot in the past, I resist Then I left my mask in the wind My heart won't break from within Take time, I'ma crash in the crypt That's a heavy boulder to lift Living isn't growing older, it's Being present in the moment, it's Seeing being sober a gift No one taught me how to harness the fall On the edge, when it's costly to slip Before you learn to run, gotta crawl I swear I felt it all in the midst Of bein' who I want And bein' who I thought was a kid Heard a whisper through the wall But I never threw his God in the bin I'm retrieving what I lost My sanity, what I confessed on a whim Wasn't even all gone I only knew the dawn to repent Subconscious exhaustion No bite for the barking Whose life on the market? It's peak and it's costly to bargain Northern the margin, it's close but it feel like the farthest Keep shooting for the stars It's a life beyond the means of your darkness The beauty of the rose that he hold, but the thorn is the sharpest I can go where the shadow don't I'll atone the apartness Let the children come mother's come on I'll atone the apartness Around and around how it go Lift a shroud on my own proud By the sweat of my own brow Wish I knew then what I know now Pin dropping like Pink Dollaz (Shh) Quiet, ain't make no sound Steady moving at the pace of heart Weighed short of a whole pound Around and around, how it go Like the roller rink in midtown By the sweat of my own brow Wish I knew then what I know now Pin dropping like Pink Dollaz (Shh) Quiet, ain't make no sound Steady movin' at the pace of my heart Weighed short of a whole pound Let the children come mother's come on
